Along with the news of Jin-sseureble's hit-and-run death, I have summarized who Jo Jin-woo is, his older brother's statement and domestic funeral plans, his bicycle world tour journey, and his profile all in one place.

For the past few days, YouTube comment sections and online communities have been completely dominated by this news. 😭

The sad news has been reported regarding Jinsseureble, a travel YouTuber who rode the world on a single bicycle.

You have probably already heard the news about the accident in the articles.

"But who exactly was Jin-sseureble?", "What did the bereaved family say?", "How is the funeral going to be handled?" These questions were scattered here and there, so it was difficult to look them up all at once.

Today, I will go through everything step by step, from the circumstances of the accident to Jo Jin-woo's profile, his older brother's statement, funeral plans, and his six-year bicycle world tour.

2. Who is Jin-sseureble Jo Jin-woo? Profile Summary

Jinsseureble is a travel creator who traveled the world solely by bicycle instead of by plane or car.

That's about all the known profile information 👇

Age: Born in 1993, aged 33

Channel Name: Jin's Travel

Channel launched: 2020

Subscribers: Approx. 66,000

Personal information such as family and educational background has never been disclosed.

As the bereaved family has also asked us to refrain from mentioning their private life, I hope you will remember them mainly for their public activities 🙏

Because his style involves calmly capturing the people and scenery encountered on the road rather than introducing flashy tourist attractions, he has many fans who have been watching for a long time.

3. Older Brother's Statement: "So That He Can Return Safely"

On November 5, an acquaintance announced the訃告 (obituary) via a channel comment with the consent of the bereaved family, and on the 6th, the older brother personally released a statement via YouTube.

Here is a summary of the key points of the statement 👇

Thank you to everyone who cared for and supported my younger sibling.

Request to refrain from spreading unverified speculation and false information

Request to refrain from criticism and malicious comments directed at the deceased and the bereaved family

Request to refrain from indiscriminate mention of private life

A request that the bereaved family also need time to mourn fully.

In particular, the last words, "Please wait for Jin-woo to return to Korea safely until the very end," left me with such a heavy heart 😢

My acquaintance also specifically asked me not to share the accident video or photos.

4. What are the domestic funeral plans for Jinsseureble?

The funeral is scheduled to be held domestically after the deceased returns to Korea.

Here is the progress update revealed by his older brother 👇

The whole family puts their daily lives on hold and departs for Bolivia

Receiving assistance from the Korean Embassy and Consulate in Bolivia

We plan to return home together, taking the deceased's belongings.

After returning home, hold a domestic funeral with family, relatives, and acquaintances.

However, as the procedures for returning from the site are not easy, the exact funeral schedule and method of paying respects will be announced later.

5. A 6-Year Bicycle World Tour, and the Final Video

The world map that Jinsseureble has drawn on his bicycle has continued like this 🚲

2020: Channel launched, started with domestic bicycle travel

March 2022 – September 2023: Bicycle trip through Europe for approximately 523 days

Afterwards: Expanding the journey to Africa and North America

Starting in 2025: Trans-Latin America starting from Mexico

Recent: Entered Bolivia via Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru

The last video before the accident is the Peru Andes episode, which was released on October 30.

It garnered attention again for a scene where it brushed past a large truck on a rough mountain road.

The location in the video is Peru and different from the accident site, so no connection between the two events has been confirmed 💡

The comment section of that video is currently filled with tributes saying, "It was a channel like a gem in the desert."

It is even more regrettable because it was a dream path that was set out after preparing step-by-step for a long time.

May he rest in peace.
